Questions
What is Full Spectrum Infrared Sauna?
Infrared light is part of the invisible light spectrum emitted by the sun and penetrates our body at varying levels based on the length of waves of light. We feel this as warmth and scientists have established that these infrared waves are beneficial to the human body without any of the harmful UV waves of sunlight. Each of these wavelengths has different health benefits with our industry leading Clearlight saunas covering the full spectrum without any of the high EMF's associated with other saunas.

What is Red Light Therapy?
Red Light Therapy delivers low energy wavelengths of light that stimulate our bodies production of ATP (AdenosineTriphosphate) which boosts cellular regeneration. This process, known as Photobiomodulation, has been extensively researched and shown to add measurable energy to the mitochondria of your cells. This results in numerous health benefits for the body including reduced inflammation, skin rejuvenation, faster wound healing as well as relief from chronic and acute pain, faster muscle recovery and more.

What is Fire and Ice Contrast Therapy?
Combine our Infrared Sauna w/ Red Light Therapy with our Cold Plunge tank. and you have Fire and Ice contrast therapy. Contrast therapy is a recovery and relaxation technique that works on the concept of vasodilatation (which occurs in the heat) and vasoconstriction (which occurs in the cold). This results in alternating the blood flow between internal organs and extremities which has been shown to reduce inflammation through improved circulation. It has also been shown to reduce stress and anxiety by promoting the parasympathetic nervous system (rest and relax) and to stimulate and improve immune function.
